Cook Islands Fijian community celebrate Fiji Independence Day

 

Cook Islands Secretary of Foreign Affairs and Immigration (MFAI) Tepaeru Herrmann joined the Cook Islands Fijian community in their celebrations of Fiji’s annual Independence Day.

The event, held last Sunday afternoon, is an annual affair organised by the Fijian community living in the Cook Islands to celebrate 23 October – with this year marking Fiji's 52nd year as a sovereign nation after declaring independence from the United Kingdom in 1970.
